CURRENT MISSION

make art more lively and life more beautiful

ABOUT ME

"all about me" seems impossible to summarize, but I´ll give you some hints:i love life desperately, i'm the melancholic type, i write, i do art, i love humans (with all our mistakes), i put a lot of concentration in my permanent recreation, i die for scents and fragrances, i'm capable to listen and curious to understand, i wonder who you are

PHILOSOPHY

fastidiously organised ambivalent chaos in longing for joy

Teach, Learn, Share

i think i got quite a good educational background (by middle-european means) with an emphasis on art, literature, politics and philosophy -maybe i can share some of this useless, but beautiful knowledge with you. more appreciation i usually get for my ability to slow down my friends when they are stressed. i could also help you to improve your creative output in quality. and here are some of the thousands of fields i would love to learn more about:contemporary dance; non-Western art, literature, politics and philosophy; languages; yoga; meditation; life
